Etymology

The word 'lodged' is derived from the verb 'lodge', which comes from the Old French word 'loger', meaning to provide shelter or accommodate. It has its roots in the Latin word 'locare', meaning to place or set. The use of 'lodge' in English dates back to the late Middle Ages, around the 14th century, when it began to refer specifically to the act of staying temporarily at a place. Over time, it has evolved to encompass both the notion of physical accommodation and the formal submission of documents in legal contexts. This duality highlights the dynamic nature of language, where words can adapt and take on multiple meanings according to their usage.
